Thank you for referencing that article TroutStalker. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

I don’t think that “hypnosis” is the appropriate term to apply to Trump and the media. Unlike presidents who lead from the rear, business mogul Trump is simply doing what he knows best by drawing a hard line with the media.

BTW pal I tried to emigrate to Oz in the 80’s had great respect for your country, had a job lined up in Adelaide helping to design those Collins class boats.

I thought there was room to roam in Oz, boy was that a misstep

There are those who say that Donald Trump is a loose cannon. He is not. He is a fully autonomous, self-directed mobile battle platform with revision 4 firmware. Boom! Another direct hit! Go Donald!!

>>>And yes, his appearance is also a problem. I’m not joking, why does he look like that?<<<

I have been a Cruzer for a long time. Now I’m just a get the Primary Season over before everybody has a stroke and win the General against the DemoncRat kind of guy.

Cruz or Trump work for me, but I am now convinced that Cruz cannot bring the necessary support outside of the Conservative Base to win the General Election.

I could be wrong, but I have no idea what States Cruz could win that went for Obama in 2012. Trump on the other hand can put many of those States in play IMHO.

If anyone disagrees, please tell us what States Cruz could win over that Obama had in his column. I’ve asked the same question numerous times in the past month and haven’t had anyone take the Bait. Gee, maybe I should Post a Vanity. LOL

That being said, Cruz reminds people of LBJ in a frumpy Suit without the sexy voice while Trump looks like an energetic 69 Year Old Man who has a great Tailor and “interesting” hair.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Such is politics. Please refer to JFK versus Nixon Debate if you don’t get it.

I’m not joking either, I’m just a realist.

Dude, Trump has to absolutely crush with the swing voters, in my opinion. If the orange weirdo is it, I have to hold my nose, and hope I am surprised and shown to be a boob.

I think anyone that wants to president in 2016 has something wrong with them. It’s just easier to see with this guy.

It depends on if the folks motivated to go Trump that don’t even normally vote would stick around for Cruz, right? I mean they know Clinton as part of the establishment, they might not know Cruz as well. So if they were going to vote Trump and couldn’t, who would the ones who would still vote bother to vote go for?

I think Trump is much more likely to win than Cruz against Hillary. It’s just that he is an orange weirdo that goes on reality shows when he doesn’t have to, and is orange when he doesn’t have to be.

They used to call this the Green and the Orange and they used to call it Belfast Cowboys and a Bruise in the Sky.

Like I said, I’m a realist.

Besides, I’m from Brooklyn and Trump talks like a few of my Late Uncles did. They were Italian-Scot, so that might have something to do with it.

Reminder - Obama won twice against slow footed republican opponents who refused to counter attack.

People love Trump because he makes fools of out of the smartest and most arrogant people in the media.

And he understands they need him more than he needs them.

I’ve never seen anything like it. And Trump is not a boring, predictable politician.
